apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I don't think it's a commitment I could make. I like image 8 the best, but even then, I'm not sure I'm the bright tile kind of person.

i know this post is about tile but i really love the look of those ikea godmorgon vanities (# 4, and i think #3).

anyone have the godmorgon? if so how it the quality?

I agree with anmar... I don't mind bright color (we have fire engine red all over our home)... but we avoid bright color in expensive furniture pieces and things like tile... too much of a committment. We're way too enigmatic for such permanent decisions!

Beautiful, but bathroom tile is probably the one place I'm afraid of color. The commitment! The diminished resale value! I'll go with bright towels and bath mats over colored tiles any day...

I love the colors, but after living in a bathroom with such tiny square tiles, I'd never install it. Way too much work to keep it clean - the grout looked nasty.

I like the orange option as it doesn't look like too much color all over. It is nice to have other surfaces to break up the color, otherwise it can be too exhausting to be surrounded by color. I want to be soothed in my space.

ElleBee, I'm pretty sure those tiny tiles come connected with wire mesh on the bottom so you really have like 2x2 (for example) squares.

I LOVE the color. I think I would be happy every single morning if I could take a long warm bath in that gorgeous purple bathroom.

I agree with a lot of posts above. I personally do not like a lot of colour in bathroom or kitchen - en masse I mean. It is fine to have bright colors as accents, a drawer, a towel, etc, for the reason that I prefer my bathroom to be mostly white, or off white. I feel it resonates cleaniness, I prefer my bathroom minimalistic, simplistic in every sense, including the colour choice. Thanks for sharing with us. I am sure these bathrooms have made their owners happy.

I'd much prefer a bathroom with beautifully colored tiles such as these than plain white or drab beige tilework...

...I remember staying at the Hotel Healdsburg last year and the bathroom was covered floor-ceiling with seaglass-green mosaic tiles - Absolutely beautiful!

I am TOTALLY in love with the bright green tiles. I have always wanted to a green bathroom, but I think our bathrooms are too small to pull off so much of a dramatic color like this. I might just spend ages in that green room with the great tub... Hm, on second thought, maybe it's a good thing that I don't love my bathroom! ;)

These are beautiful bathrooms and tile options but for myself I still prefer a bathroom this is white white white. I think that the bright, clean feeling of a white bathroom helps wake me up in the AM. I also love having an east facing window in my bathroom because on a sunny morning I don't even have to turn on the light.

In bathrooms, I love color -- the richer the better. But the huge, uninterrupted blocks of color like #3, #6 and #8 -- too lego-y for me.

I love all of these. I'd love a bathroom full of vibrancy - white bathrooms are so boring and characterless. I can't think of anything nicer than soaking in a tub in a nice ambient colored bathroom.

The first one makes me think of Pompeii, it is quite amazing. Not that I'd actually live with any of them myself.

ok, I have a tile question - How safe is it to have glass tiles on the floor of a bathroom, like #2 and #10? I want to do this in my bathroom renovation, but am concerned it would be too slick when wet or in socks. The space is a small 5'x5'.

shofner --

You would think that it would seem slick, but the edges of the small tiles and the grout give you plenty of traction.

I love the greens in #5 and #8.
I would like to mix them and then I would put them on the floor so it looks like grass and have the walls large white tiles.
Wonder if it would be hard to clean them. hmm

ooh wait. I did not see ElleBee post about how "much work" there is "to keep it clean." And ElleBee's ending off with, "the grout looked nasty." hhmmmmmm well I'm not doing that anymore LOL.
